Kids Lunchbox Club - Choc Coco Sultana Slice

Who doesn't love a delicious warm chocolately cake coming out of the oven????And with school starting back this week, what a wonderful treat to pop into a lunchbox. Treats in our home don't come in packets and they aren't full of fat!This one even warms the heart of those who aren't fond of fat-free baking!

Choc-Coco Sultana Slice

You'll need:1 cup wholemeal self-raising flour3/4 cup dessicated coconut1/2 cup coconut sugar (or other dry sweetener of choice)1/2 cup sultanas1/4 cup cocoa powder1 teaspoon vanilla1 cup soymilk (or other plant milk of choice)50 grams dark chocolate (I used Lindt 70%)In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, coconut, sugar, cocoa powder and sultanas. Make sure the sultanas are coated well with dry mixture so they don't all sink when baked. Pour in the soymilk and vanilla. Stir until well combined.Break the chocolate into little pieces and stir through the mixture.Pour into a lined baking dish (I used 20x30cm) and bake in a preheated 200C for 20 minutes.Slice and serve.Or allow to cool before putting in a lunchbox!

These looks so scrummy! It's such a shame that Lil' L's school has banned coconut along with nuts (I pray they don't ban seeds as well!) The local council has taken coconut off the school dinners menu for the whole county as it's considered an allergen :( Never mind, I'll just have to make these as an after school treat instead ;)
